Group deletion between Microsoft and CoreView

  • Last update on June 17th, 2025

When I delete a group (not on-premises) from the Teams Admin Center, how long does it take before it is also deleted in CoreView?

When a non-on-premises group is deleted from the Teams Admin Center, it can take up to 2 days for the group to be deleted from CoreView. This timing depends on two synchronization processes between the tenant and CoreView:

  • Partial import: typically, group deletions are picked up by the partial import, a process that runs every few minutes. In most cases, this process will promptly remove the group from CoreView.
  • Full group import: if the deletion is not captured by the partial import, a full group import runs every two days, ensuring the most accurate list of groups is synchronized.
 
 

What should I do if the group does not disappear from CoreView immediately?

There is no need for concern if the group is not removed right away. Only after 3 days from deletion in the Teams Admin Center should you report any issues, as the removal is likely to be processed during one of the synchronization cycles.
